Norwich City will host Bristol Rovers at Carrow Road on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the Championship of late and will be looking to pick up their first win of the year this week. They played out a 1-1 draw against in-form Southampton in their last match, falling behind in the 70th minute before substitute Josh Sargent turned home the leveler minutes later.
Norwich City were knocked out at this stage of the tournament last season after losing 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers and will hope they can find better luck this time around.
Bristol Rovers kicked off their FA Cup campaign with a 7-2 demolition of amateur side Whitby back in November. They then locked horns with Crewe Alexandra in the second round of the tournament and picked up a 4-2 win over the League Two side, finding themselves four goals up just after the restart before their opponents scored two consolation goals midway through the second half.
